Silky 272-15 Telescoping Zubat Professional Series Ultralight Pole Saw

I am using this to cut fronds and pods out of a pindo palm that has grown too tall to prune on a ladder with hand saw. Last year I used a popular pole saw sold in big box stores and the blade flexed too much and the saw took quite a bit of effort to get through large pods. I have owned a Silky Gomboy and Silky Pocketboy for years and have been super happy with them. I bit the bullet and paid the premium for this Silky Zubat and am very pleased with the outcome. The pole is light weight, the adjustment mechanism is secure and the blade cuts through the pods like butter compared to my old saw. The blade still flexes appropriately but not the flimsy flexing of my previous blade. I have no complaints and highly recommend this pole saw.

Great manual saw excellent quality and easy to use

I've never done this - written a review 10 minutes after using the product - but this pole saw is AMAZING! I have a 25' Canary Date Palm and haven't been able to cut off the dead fronds without getting out a ladder and hacking at the arms. Along comes Silky - and I just trimmed 8 dead arms in 8 minutes. While the saw blade itself isn't very stiff, the teeth made butter out of these hard fronds. It cut through them with no problems at all. Need a good telescoping trimmer - here's the one! Thanks to everyone else who wrote reviews.

I never expected it to go through thick trunks as quick as it does. My father had a chance to borrow it and couldn't believe how much better it was too the one he has from Home Depot or Lowe's (I can't remember which one).

I have a larger Silky poll saw for those high branches but this one is for lower work. It is very light weight which is important on a long day of pruning. Like all Silkys the blade is exceedingly sharp and makes clean cuts. The blade assembly has nobs on the two bolts that hold it on the pole so it can be taken apart for storage or easy transport.The blade is narrow enough to allow you to see where you are cutting. A friend had one and I was able to try it, came home and bought one about tow months ago. Silkys are durable and dependable this saw is great.

this is a great saw BUT the effective range is only about 12 ft. the description states 16 feet in one place and 21 feet in another

GREAT , GREAT tree saw. Far superior to that red one sold at other stores. This saw is light as can be with a razor sharp cutting edge. I getmy pruning done in half the usual time. My previous silky saw I had for 10 years before I absolutely had to replace it. Glad to see Amazon carryingthem. Bought an additional blade so I may get 20 years out of it.

My husband bought this so he could trim our large oaks. He loves it, blade is sharp & overall lite weight to hold while high up in the trees

You will fall in love with this product.It is lightweight, handles smoothly, and cuts through thick branches like butter.The only problem is replacement blades are expensive and may have to be ordered from Japan which can take a month or so to arrive.I would order a couple extra blades with your pole saw order, which will seem like a lot of money.But believe me, it's worth the money, and you will have family and friends wanting to borrow this thing!

Quando si comincia a prendere la mano, questo attrezzo è veramente efficace e potente. Normale che la lama ogni tanto si incastri, ma con strappi o manovre varie si riesce sempre a trovare il modo di sbloccarla.L'unico problema è che i perni che bloccano la lama all'asta si perdono con facilità. A me è capitato e ho risolto sostituendoli con normali perni da 6 mm con relativi bulloni. Così funziona meglio di prima.

Love the quality of this product. This model, being discontinued, was a savings as well.

Prodotto di alta qualità, indispensabile nell’arboricoltura. Silky un nome, una garanzia

Cant beat a silky
